[jdom-interest] getTextTrim() question

That's a good idea, and would work well for an individual Element.  I would like
to have XMLOutputter do this for all of my Elements on output.  Is there a way
to set the XMLOutputter so that it uses Element.getText().trim() rather than
Element.getTextTrim()?
